Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of outsourcing solutions provider iGATE (Nasdaq: IGTE) are down 10% today on news that the company will buy a majority stake in Patni Computer.

So what: iGATE will pay $921 million for 63% of Patni and give an open offer to purchase an additional 21% of the company for $301 million. Funding from Apax Partners LLP, a private equity firm, backs the deal.

Now what: The curious part of this purchase is that iGATE is paying more than its own market cap for Patni. Analysts aren't impressed with the move to buy a bigger competitor, saying iGATE doesn't really bring anything to the table in the purchase. The risks of such a big deal are immense, and I have to sell today's move along with the rest of the market.
